According to their announcement on X, the sidechain would ensure security, privacy, and a smooth experience in the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape. The sidechain is currently under development, with the testnet planned to be launched at the end of 2023.
The announcement was made by Da Hongfei, founder of NEO, who unveiled plans for the development of the sidechain at a Hong Kong event. At the event, Hongfei shared that the new chain would inherit the Byzantine Fault Tolerance (dBFT) consensus mechanism of NEO while being Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible.
The Neo sidechain will reportedly use enveloped transactions to eliminate toxic MEVs and censorship. Neo shared that they believe this development could create the “fairest playing field for both seasoned DeFi traders and average users.”
As per the announcement, the sidechain will utilize Neo’s native GAS token for both governance and utility functions. Moreover, the sidechain is built to resist MEV attacks that affect users on decentralized exchanges.
According to CoinMarketCap, the price of the Neo token has increased 14.19% in the past 24 hours, reaching $8.92 at press time. Moreover, the price has seen an increase of 31.6% in the past seven days. The market capitalization reached $628,993,326, while the trading volume for the past twenty-four hours reached $128,653,093, recording a surge of 217.14%.
